I'm looking for an underdash panel that will fit a 2" gauge (air pressure in my case). I got one from Jim K but it appears to be identical to the stock one.

thanks

Yeah, oddly I was told by the guy on the phone, (not Jim) that it had to be the right part and I could send it back if I didn't like it. I emailed them pictures demonstrating it's similarity to the stock part (virtually identical) and me measuring the area where the gauge would fit, it it could. The response was that I could send it back if it "didn't work for me" - authored by the same guy I spoke with. Nothing about them having or not having the correct part.

Ugh. I've had great service from Applied in the past but this isn't good.

Jim? Hate to air the laundry here, but I haven't been able to find you.

Mike,
Now would be the time to decide if your want to drop the steering wheel.
There are sources for replacement filler panels and also ones for steering
columns that have been dropped.

I'm thinking I'm ok with the wheel where it is.
I'm 5'10 and 46. I kinda like the bus feel.
That said, I haven't tried it lowered.

Does anyone have any opinions on this?

Ok it looks like I just needed to make things a little clearer. All is good with Applied. They got sent the wrong parts from their source. New one is on the way.

Good. Jim always tries to make folks happy. I knew he would take care of you.
I had a wheel lowering kit but decided to raise the driver's seat 3 inches. I like it and Teri can't touch the pedals. Killed two birds with one stone, as the old saying goes.
Life is Good,
Dan

Mike,
I had the correct one shipped to you direct.
It should work.
We will send you a call tag to have the wrong one picked up so you'll
not need to pay freight back and make sure we do not charge double for
freight.

I made my own out of thin plywood and some wood scraps to make ears to attach to the underside of the dash. I put in a couple of air vents, some switches, a vacTach and air gage. I'm not afraid of messing it up because if I do, I can make another one just as easy. Some of the ready made panels are at a set angle. If you make your own, you can make it at any angle you want for ease of eye sight. Makes a great switch panel also.

Just what I did
